The aim of this study was to describe a new approach to the presurgical orthopedic treatment of unilateral cleft lip and palate patients with severe cleft width. Modified nostril retainers manufactured from soft acrylic were used for the nasal molding. This technique enables the separation of the nasal molding without having to reduce the cleft width to 5 mm. Nasal molding with the modified nostril retainer resulted in the patient and the physician experiencing a more comfortable treatment period.
本研究的目的是描述一种针对单侧唇腭裂且裂隙宽度严重的患者进行术前整形外科治疗的新方法。使用由软质丙烯酸制成的改良鼻孔保持器进行鼻成型。该技术能够在无需将裂隙宽度减小至5毫米的情况下实现鼻成型的分离。使用改良鼻孔保持器进行鼻成型使患者和医生都经历了更舒适的治疗期。
